What is oETH/ETH Convex Deposit?
This vault optimizes yields for the Curve oETH/ETH pool through Convex Finance. oETH is Origin Protocol's yield-bearing ETH token, designed to automatically compound staking rewards and DeFi yields without requiring user action.
Understanding oETH and Origin Protocol
Origin's yield-optimizing approach:
- Auto-Compounding: Yields automatically compound daily
- Rebasing Token: oETH supply increases with rewards
- Diversified Strategy: Multiple yield sources (staking, DeFi)
- User-Friendly: Hold oETH, earn automatically
oETH simplifies yield farming into a single token.
How oETH Works
Origin's mechanism:
- Deposit ETH (or LSDs) to receive oETH
- Origin deploys to optimal strategies
- Yields compound through rebasing
- 1 oETH always equals underlying value
How This Vault Works
- Provide oETH and/or ETH to Curve pool
- Stake LP tokens in Convex vault
- Convex applies veCRV boost
- Earn oETH yields + CRV + CVX
Fee Structure
Convex standard fees:
- 16% of CRV rewards
- No deposit/withdrawal fees
Origin takes a performance fee on strategy yields.
oETH in LP Context
Rebasing behavior in LPs:
- oETH rebasing affects LP composition
- Pool automatically rebalances
- LPs capture underlying yields
- May create impermanent "gain" dynamics
cvxCRV and Convex Integration
The Convex boost system:
- Aggregated veCRV for all depositors
- cvxCRV stakers enable the infrastructure
- vlCVX governance directs emissions
- Sustainable yield model
